Saucy Enchiladas with Sweet Potato and Black Beans

These plant-based enchiladas are full of flavor, loaded with fiber and antioxidants, and are so easy to make. I’m using sweet potatoes, black beans, red pepper, and jalapeno as the core ingredients along with a can of green chilis and green salsa to flavor them up! I like to use lots of avocado, scallions, and salsa for topping and also great topped with dairy-free sour cream and dairy-free cheese! Perfect to make at the start of the week because they reheat well for a quick lunch or dinner.
